Default Mazda fanatics I need your help!!!

My pop has a '98 Millenia. He's owned it since new and babied it for years. It needed a new head gasket among other things so dad tore the motor down and put it all back together, but he says he can't remember how the vacuum lines go back. My pop is gettin' old.
Anyway...he has always helped me with car issues my whole life and I want to help him, I was hoping someone here would be able to help me help an old fart out and scan a vacuum line diagram for a '98 Millenia 2.5 Ltr V6.

He said the dealership in Ocala wouldn't even let him look at their manual there. What a bunch of a-holes. If you can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I haven't necessarily looked for a 98' Millenia manual online but I can look and see if anyone has one in PDF format. If we can't find it then try to call some other dealerships around the area or even out of state to see if they'd be kind enough to email you a copy of it. Too bad some dealerships really are jerks.

dude, great idea! I searched so far and found a .pdf for a '96 Millenia. Not sure if thats really the same as a '98.

should basically be the same since the car was only remodeled in 2000-2003.

Pretty sure they didn't change the engine either.

Only two different types:

2.5L 170 HP V6
2.3L 210 HP V6 (Miller Cycle)

It should be pretty easy to differentiate.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Yeah, thats what I thought too. Apparently they re-routed the vacuum hoses in '98 and added/changed some emissions junk. The diagram didn't match from the '96. Up unitl then the 2.5 liter Millenia and 626 were the same. Then they changed some stuff for the Millenia, or at least thats how I understand it.
I searched the library's database:
http://ipac.hcplc.org/ipac20/ipac.js...ile=dial#focus
...and found a couple of repair manuals in the reference section that had the diagram, I copied them, scanned them, then emailed them to my dad. That seemed to do the trick. Car seems to be running good now.
